Enjoyable Dinner
I made a reservation for my wife and me at the bar. I had tried to get a table in the dining room but they were sold out within seconds of becoming available. When eating at the bar your options are limited to a short ala carte menu or a tasting menu which costs $250 Singapore/$188 USD for 2. We chose the tasting menu. The tasting menu consisted of 10 courses with most being single bites. One or two dishes were average but most were very good. I can understand some of the criticisms about the lack of quantity but I thought the tasting menu was a decent value. I’ve never eaten at a Michelin star restaurant for under $100 US per person. My only criticism relates to their reputation as an Australian barbecue restaurant. There were a few barbecue dishes but most weren’t or were a real stretch to label barbecue. I’m surprised that some reviews criticize the service. It was excellent for us. Everyone was friendly and professional. The timing of the courses was generally very good. The only excessive lag was the wait for dessert. We did encounter one quirk at the end of the night. We had taken a taxi to the restaurant and asked them to call one for us at the end of dinner. They said that they couldn’t call for one but could try to order one via the internet. They couldn’t get one which concerned me, but I used the Grab app and got a ride. It seemed odd that my hotel can call for cabs but the restaurant can’t. Aside from the taxi issue we enjoyed our dinner. I would return if I could get a seat in the dining room and try the full menu.
Be the first to ReplySave Your Money and Eat in the Hawker Markets
First, let me preface this by saying I am not a foodie. I am already bias since I think these types of restaurants inflate their prices. This is the first Michelin restaurant I have ever been to. We decided to try it since we saw the restaurant on Somebody Feed Phil. Making a reservation in the in the main dining room is next to impossible. I tracked it for weeks and was ready when the spots opened up at the appropriate number of days in advance. I was only able to make a reservation in the Cocktail bar. We arrived about 30 minutes before our reservation and they seated us within 5 minutes of arriving. The space is super cool. The outside of the building is a non-descript white building, but the inside was amazing. We were able to sit in 2 of the 8 seats at the bar. There are other seats along the wall and you are eating off a coffee table. Two seats are along the wall on the way to the bathroom. I would not have been happy if we were seated there. One of the numerous wait staff that engaged with us whispered to my wife that we had the two seats for a maximum of two hours. Given I am not a frequenter of these types of places, I didn't think much of it, but looking back, if you are paying this kind of money, you ought to be able to camp there overnight if you wish. My wife doesn't drink and the bartender made her a nice mocktail. I had an overpriced cocktail in a cool skull glass. Alcohol in Singapore is pricey, so no big deal. There are two options in this cocktail bar area. 1. order from the al-a-cart menu or 2. the set menu for $125 (Singapore dollars) per person. We picked option 2. 9 courses which none of them were more than 1-2 bites. My wife is gluten free and they were accommodating, but these days Gluten free is very common. The Quail Egg was probably the best of the 9 courses. Very unique and smoky flavor. Don't let the Steak Frites lure you into the sense that you will get some steak. It was the worst version of steak frites in history. It was about 1/2 a bite and quite disappointing. The Sanger (which is a pork slider by the way) was tasty, but no better than anything we could get in the south of the United States on the side of the road. Maybe other folks in other parts of the world would enjoy this as this is a rarity, but for those living in the southern United States, this was disappointing. In summary, $125 (Singapore dollars) was overpriced. Maybe worth $75. The space was cool, the wait space was attentive, though fairly short and not super warm. I could have spent 1/10th of the cost at the Hawker Markets and been happier and way more full.
Be the first to ReplyGreat, but how great?
Very good atmosphere, and excellent food. No complaints at all! The staff were slightly less pleasing… one could not really say that they were unhelpful or impolite; but they didn’t really engage either. Actually they seemed intent on selling us their preferred options (driven by the management maybe???) and didn’t really listen to our comments, opinions and wishes. In the end this was nevertheless an excellent experience… however for the very high price I would expect oh so very, very much more. Rated as #34 in the world - how the hell did that happen? Maybe at one time they were, but they lost the plot slightly as they basked in their joy? I don’t know really, but I’ve eaten just as good food - even better food - and experienced just as good atmosphere; coupled with far superior service… and it cost a lot less - and I am sure those places would be ranked somewhere in the 1000s… or maybe they have never even been ranked!?!? So what is a ranking really worth? In any case they can’t be #34… and don’t get me wrong - they are good - but not #34 good - never in a million years!
Be the first to ReplyVery poor.
Expensive, underwhelming, slow. Table was not ready in time. Menu is cryptic. Poor overall, was really looking forward to it but massively disappointed. We were all hungry as we left. Save yourself and find somewhere worthy.
Be the first to ReplyFelt cheated. To the core. Never again.
Terrible food. Tasteless. Disgusting attitude of the waiters. Cheats of the star order!!! Squeezed more money under a pretext on 10$ bill when I gave a 100$. I will make them famous for the way they treat the customers.
Be the first to ReplyTerrible experience. Felt Cheated. Don’t waste your money there.
Terrible experience. Snooty staff. Bad food. Nice decor though!! Worst was the checkout. Did not accept the card I use regularly. So I pay by cash. And then after while we wait for taxi, waiter comes out and says one 100 bill was less. Was a 10$ bill. Terrible terrible. Cheats. Will never go back and will tell everyone about the terrible experience.
Be the first to ReplyGreat meal if not for a rude hostess
Delicious grilled steaks and appetisers. Entire experience was good aside from the hostess reminding you that they need the table back at a specific time BEFORE they even sit you! That’s just plain rude. Spoils the entire experience. Mains are pretty limited and if you don’t eat beef, this is not really a place for you. Nonetheless, food was delicious
Be the first to ReplyAmazing Australian Barbecue dishes meets Amazing WA Moss Wood wines
Fabulous set menu for the Moss Wood wines tasting dinner. We love these West Aust wines, but to have them paired with 7 courses of amazing food cooked in front of us was very, very special. The kitchen staff talked us through each course, before it was cooked and as it was served. Wagyu steak, King Crab and Bone Marrow were amongst the highlights. The flaming Bombe Alaska to finish was amazing.
Be the first to ReplyExceptional Dining And Service
Located in Dempsey Hill, it is a short taxi ride away from central Singapore. It is a well to do neighbourhood. This restaurant was the highlight of my trip as very high expectations and they were met and exceeded. It was my second birthday dinner and was so excited when I scored a reservation here. You need to book exactly 45 days before and exactly at 10am Singapore time if you want the best chance of snagging a booking. The reason it is number 65 in the world and has a Michelin Star is because of the amazing Australian style BBQ dishes and the awesome service. Not only is the servers extremely hospitable, they answer any questions you may have and nothing is too much for them. I had booked counter seating and this is the best seating in my mind even in a small group as you get to see the chefs in action and you feel part of it. If you’re lucky you might get to see chef owner, Dave Pynt. The menu is designed to be shared and lots of wonderful dishes to choose from. I had the Smoked Quail Egg And Caviar and Crab And Pork Sticker. Both very delicious and well executed. My sister had the Grissini And Taramasalata. Presentation was unexpected and it was tasty. We then shared the Cubano Pork Belly, Pakistani Lamb Chops, Flat Iron (Burnt Onion And Bone Marrow), Bone Marrow Bun, and Burnt Ends’ Sourdough. The meats were cooked perfectly and loved the cooking in the fire. Bursting with flavour and oh so tender. The bun was was served in foil and dripping with the marrow. So delicious. Sourdough was fluffy and great for mopping up the sauces. The service really excelled as when we reached the dessert, the menu was returned back to us however the Apple Tart that my sister had her eye on was crossed off which meant it was sold out. She was disappointed as she had seen it being plated in front of her all evening. One of the servers checked to see what he could do for us and managed to rustle up a dessert that was not on the menu that evening. It was the Berry Tart which I had seen on previous menus. He got it served with the Vanilla Ice Cream that was from the apple dessert as well as cream. I had the Chocolate Fondant And Smoked Ice Cream. It was presented with a candle which was a nice touch. We also got Marshmallows. It was flavoured with orange. The desserts were a wonderful ending to the dinner. What topped this evening off for me was that my sister organised a meeting with Dave. I think I was fanboying all night as once I had seen Dave on a few Netflix programs, I was excited to see him as he was also Australian. He was so nice and very much giving of his time and did not mind taking a few pictures with us. My sister had asked about the wines and he even took us to view the wine cellar. Nothing could top this on my holiday so I highly recommend a visit here. Definitely deserves all the accolades it has received.
Be the first to ReplyEXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING
With all the great reviews of Burnt Ends, we were looking forward to experience some extraordinary taste sensations. We left it too late to book into the main dining area, and could only get into the Cocktail Bar/Lounge. When we (two pax) arrived at the Cocktail Bar/Lounge, our table (just inside the front door) was still occupied, so we were "parked" at a table near the toilets. We were then offered a seat at the bar.....we would have left if our choice was between the "front door" or the "toilet" table. We had: - Pork taco - small serving, tasteless & way overpriced 0/10 - Jamaican chicken - the best of our choices, but still expensive for what you got 3/10 - Beef cigar - again, not much flavour, and expensive for what you got 1/10 The food was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING, so we did not order any more, even though we were starving. To drown our sorrows, we resorted to the cocktails which were extremely overpriced, even by Singapore standards. The music was very loud, making it difficult to have a conversation. On the bar directly in front of us, for the whole time we were there, there were two large containers with something being strained through a muslin cloth. This should be done behind the scenes, not in front of customers. The main restaurant might have a great vibe and fantastic food (according to the reviews), but our experience in the Cocktail Bar/Lounge was just poor to average food, the portion sizes were very mean, everything is very expensive, there was no value for money (what has happened to generosity?) and the whole experience was an extreme disappointment.

Amazing ambience for gathering with friends. Definitely recommend this place and would totally visit again!
Be the first to ReplyTaste Sensation
This high end, yet casual restaurant was a feast for the senses. We began with drinks and a few small plates in the stylishly quirky Cocktail Bar. The first tart I sampled was an explosion of flavour, awakening my tastebuds to the pleasures of Michelin Star dining. We moved into the restaurant where we chose the ‘chefs select’ menu. Sitting at a counter bench facing the kitchen, we had excellent service from Chefs Dave and Patrick, who presented us with an amazing array of delectable food , each dish having its own unique flavours. The food preparation and plating in front of us, made for a unique dining experience. It was perfect for a special celebration. Although it’s booked out a few months ahead and when each new month appears, it fills quickly, it’s well worth the wait and effort to get a seat
Be the first to Replysaucy fatty nasty
First of all service in general is bad. Despite 2,000$ wine bottle order no attention is given to keeping the wine cool and pouring it properly. Food is about as nasty as it gets. All dishes are full of either butter cream or ghee. literally bathing in those. it is nauseating. Asked for their special wagyu they recommend rare. i said i want well done. they didn’t listen and brought it rare anyway. didn’t taste good was chewy and lacking flavor. overall a massive disaster which ended with no apology or anything definitely not worth the 4,000$ evening that took 3 hours for no reason.
Be the first to ReplyGood good, service poor
Food is great, meets expectations given price. Service is disappointing, not attentive, mistakes (wrong wine), inconsistency (asking allergies multiple times, missing items). Overall, a good experience that could be made much better on the service side.
Be the first to ReplyNice restaurant to visit
Good service, good environment and nice food at Bursnt End. Enjoy a nice night for gathering with friend
Be the first to ReplyAmazing
a group of 6 of us did the cocktail bar and did the set menu option at $100pp was a step price for not a lot of food, but every dish had an amazing taste and was a real delight. Fantastic range of drinks and wine, but the wine prices were on the astronomical side of normal, The speed of service was very very good, with meals coming out in a nice relaxed timely manner. Service was great.
Be the first to Reply10/10 would return
Went there for a date night and the place was memorable. First, we were greeted by the beautiful and posh woody decor, it left a big impression for the night. Secondly they had so many interesting choices to order, all the dishes that were presented to us looked so artistic and so Instagrammable. The smell rising from each dish was so enticing. Highly recommend their Blackmores Striplion which were so flavourful and melts in your mouth. 10/10 returning back for the ambience and delicious food. A mind blowing dining experience.
Be the first to ReplyWhat is the big deal here ?
An 150 mins “bar snack” affair, was looking forward to the bill or a duvet (air con must have been around 15C) towards the end of it. Not sure why a mini pull burger and some leeks with nuts would need a 30mins wait between the dishes, is this what fine dining is about ?!! …..by the end of it.. you wished that you had gone for a zinger at mc Ds instead (and we did pay a visit for fries and McFlurry afterwards !! ) intimate atmosphere and food was ok. No bad dishes but no great ones either. Not many options for the kids, all the waiters are friendly but those in the kitchen should really speed things up. As another reviewer said.. overpriced and overhyped, can’t agree more and definitely one of the worst meals value for money wise…
Be the first to ReplyOverhyped, Overpriced, Over salted....Incredibly Disappointed
*Warning* Unpopular Opinion Incoming: I don't get it. I really really don't. I am extremely disappointed by this restaurant. The amount of effort into getting a reservation, the reputation surrounding it, and even some of these reviews had my wife and I so excited to dine here for our 4th wedding anniversary, I am still in shock by how poor an experience we had. Not one time during our time here did 1 single staff member wish us a happy anniversary, or thank us for choosing them to celebrate with, as with most eateries on this side of the world, we had to flag down a server nearly every step of the way. Our waiter also was quite pushy on items we "must order" to the point he wasn't really even listening to what I was trying to order, he would point to another item while I was in mid sentence and exclaim "Oh no, you must order this, very good this one". I appreciate suggestions and recommendations, but man, let me finish speaking before you barrage me with "must orders". Everything in this restaurant is brown, or a shade of brown, or in the color wheel of brown. Seriously there is not one pop of color anywhere to be found, no pictures, paintings, art, fish tank, etc. It was like being in house made of chocolate or something, there was nothing interesting to visually see other than the open kitchen where 10+ people seem to be needed for a half full restaurant. (Our reservation was 6:30 - 3/4 the tables were empty but started to fill up later towards 8PM). OK - On to the food, which was the biggest part of our frustration. I have been to several "fine dining" establishments before, I get the idea. Small portions, quality food, unique concepts is the norm, however here it seems to just be small portions of oily food. We ordered at least 7- 8 dishes, including the Grissini, Sanger, eggplant, eel, garlic shoots, Bone marrow bun, and striploin, so we got a fair sample of the entire menu, including some of the highly recommended dishes I see in these reviews. Nearly every dish mentioned, comes with some sort of Aioli heavy sauce, over the top amounts of oil, and enough salt to cause even an Olympian to start having heart palpitations. No joke I could feel my blood pressure rising 3/4 through this meal. There was absolutely zero balance to these dishes, nothing helped bring down the oil taste/feeling of these items, no acid, no bite, nothing. They all sort of tasted the exact same. Its like eating heavy frosting cake then downing a rich milkshake, its just too much. There was also zero texture to anything, since every item was covered in so much oil, it was all super soft and mushy, when you were hoping for a crispy bite to help with the super soft aioli/sauce/oil, you got nothing. Oh here comes the next dish- surprise! Drenched in oil and salt!....awesome. I feel I am a pretty fair judge when it comes to steak...being from Texas in USA, I have had many... mannnnyyy steaks in my life, the one I had last evening was just mediocre. Nothing about it was memorable at all, it had no sear, no body, nothing on the side to accentuate the texture or flavor other than a weak fennel "salad", drenched in....you guessed it...oil based vinaigrette! With the massive open face fire pit in the back of the kitchen... I was really hopefully to get something with some sear or char or anything to capture that flavor of the fire, but it seems like that is just for show, the steak I had tasted/appeared like it was just oven baked to medium rare. The bone marrow bun was just more of the same, soft, mushy, salty, oily, etc. At this point in the meal it was nearly impossible to finish, so much jelak buildup and salt overload that we were pounding the waters ($12 mind you). Finally the ordeal was over, they cleared our table and had us sit for another 20 minutes before anyone came back...at this point we had tapped out, the façade had faded away, the curtain was pulled back and the illusion was revealed, we were not impressed by this smoke show. With literally thousands of other restaurants in SG, I can not in the right mind recommend this place to anyone, and am completely baffled at how this is considered "good" food.
Be the first to ReplyAmazing bakery in Dempsey area! Go early!
This review is for the Burnt Ends Bakery in Dempsey. We had heard such great reviews that we got up early and got to the bakery around 8:30am. There was already a short line but at least there were tables available outside (no seating inside the bakery) and the line moved quickly. There were so many amazing baked goods that we had to get a huge selection for the 9 of us to try. Prices are quite high ($12 for a slice of berry tart) but very worth it. Stand outs for us were the almond croissant, Mount Fuji Viennoiserie (double mint chocolate), plain scones and most of their donuts. Once we got our order and headed outside to eat, the line had grown to outside the bakery. Tables filled up within 15 minutes. I would definitely recommend a try but go early like we did!
Be the first to ReplyWonderful restaurant to enjoy while in Singapore
While we were in Singapore we were able to eat at this restaurant. Reservations are very difficult to get but we were in the area and stopped by to see if there were any openings, lucky for us we were able to get in. The food was delicious and the wait staff was very attentive and helpful in making suggestions on what to order. We enjoyed the smoked quail eggs with caviar. The leeks and garlic shoots were very tasty. We had their take on “fish and chips,” the tenderloin, burnt onion and bone marrow was delicious. We finished our dinner with chocolate and smoked ice cream and also had marshmallows. We will definitely try to eat there again next time we are in Singapore.
Be the first to ReplyPopular restaurant well worth the wait
This popular restaurant featured in a Netflix documentary has a long waitlist even in its new bigger space. It is however well worth the effort .
Be the first to ReplyThe hype was over-rated
Service was brilliant and wait staff were attentive. Just surprised that we are slapped with $6 per head for water. Grissini was a great start, explosion of creamy flavours. Miso egg plant was ordinary, batter was similar to that of “fried banana” (goreng pisang). Leeks with hazelnut - seem to have too confusing blends of textures and flavours. Lamb chops carried a herbal note of olives and berries… flavourful and tender. Tenderloin was equally tender and well grilled. Pavlova with wild strawberries was nice way to end the meal - good crunch but a tad sweet
Be the first to ReplyWorst booking system
I am starting to feel that this 30-day in advance booking system is just a ruse. If I hit the booking site at exactly 10.00am (when bookings open) exactly 30 days ahead of the day I want to visit, I am constantly confronted with a blank date. If I join the 'waiting list', I am instantly informed they are full anyway. The only thing being burnt around here is my fingers!. This frustrating website experience is doing little to enhance the reputation of Burnt Ends, which I understand to be a fine restaurant. Perhaps just forget about running a web-based booking system when bookings are never available. It's not a sin to be so popular - but perhaps it is wrong to give intending diners false hope.
Be the first to ReplyBurning Desire Fulfilled
Burnt Ends is no newcomer to the fine dining albeit avante garde, scene in Singapore !
With its recent induction, into the Top 50 of Asia’s Best Restaurants , it’s become the burning desire of many more to dine there - whenever a table is available!
My dining experience didn’t fall short of past expectations; in fact it was more memorable this time!
The food - one is spoilt for choice- plus the attentive but not overbearing service would be every diner’s dream!
Despite being cautious when ordering- we couldn’t resist the array of small bites - of which my favourite was toast, tomatoes and lardo! The crab legs served with butter / lemon / capers was a exceptional “ fish entree “; followed by the grilled lamb chops and
200 gm Blackmores Striploin, which would have sufficed!
But we had to succumb to the Sanger; and Bone Marrow Bun; Chocalate Fondant plus the petit fours comprising Marshmallow; Financiers; Pate de Fruit etc
So we were satiated - gleefully!
Truly a meal “ par excellence “ !
